Ducks in a Barrel Weekly-Daily Strategy
LONGS: BTC, SOL, TON
SHORT: PA
LONGS:
The crypto market is overall in a strong up trend based on weekly MA's sloping up. We see that BTC, SOL & TON are undervalued vs the price of Gold and Treasuries, and are oversold on stochastic. If we see a trend change to the upside on the Daily chart, I'll look to long these markets. I admit, I'd like to see sentiment more bearish, as currently sentiment is in the middle of the road. Perhaps one more flush to the downside would create some panic and bearish sentiment, which would make this trade idea even more valid.
SHORTS:
Palladium is in a strong weekly downtrend. Right now we are overvalued vs treasuries, but not yet overvalued vs gold or overbought. I'd like to see this market get overbought & overvalued vs gold to qualify looking for shorts on the daily time frame.
Good luck & Good trading.
SOL Waiting For The BEST Entry: Bullish TriangleSOL has been trading inside this triangle pattern since practically forever. I'm not calling for a bearish move here, I'm only sharing my view from where I will enter if we continue to go down.
The bottom support has been holding on 4 seperate ocassions, my assumption is that it requires a lot of power to fall through, since bulls will be buying from there.
Ideally, SOL will move back up to the top resistance, or even better break out of it.
SOL / SOLANA🔍 SOL/USDT Analysis: 15-Minute Timeframe 📉
The SOL/USDT chart on a 15-minute timeframe highlights significant upcoming times where price movements may present trading opportunities. For short-term, intraday, or scalping trades, these signals can be crucial.
• August 30, 2024, 22:15, August 31, 2024, 08:45 - Red Lines: These times mark potential local peaks. Traders might consider these as moments to take profits or reduce exposure, as the price could encounter resistance or a downturn.
• August 30, 2024, 13:15, August 31, 2024, 04:00 - Green Lines: These times indicate potential local lows, providing favorable conditions for accumulating SOL or entering long positions.
Note: The exact timing of these phases can vary by +/- a few hours. All times are based on UTC-7 (Los Angeles).
Aug 29Overview:
The FRED:SP500 experienced another day of indecisiveness. However, for the first time during this established range, it closed in red for two consecutive days. NASDAQ:QQQ followed a similar pattern. Both indices showed higher volume than the previous day, confirming the downtrend. Buckle up for the opening price on September 3rd (Monday is Labor Day in the US).
GDP growth came in strong at 3%. Does this seem like a shrinking economy? Could there be a recession if the Fed doesn’t pour gasoline on this fire? It’s starting to look like 2 rate cuts instead of 4 by the end of the year.
BTC ETF has been selling for three consecutive days—on the 27th, 28th, and 29th. On the 27th, we saw a big red candle, but the market was able to absorb all that selling pressure without dropping lower. However, it's a bearish sign that even at the relatively low price point of $60k, the ETF crowd doesn't seem confident in COINBASE:BTCUSD
ETH ETF trading was halted, with no buying or selling activity. Are they bracing for a big move, or is this the bottom?
W: Old range, nothing new. Bearish.
D: On Thursday, bulls tried to push it higher and correct the crash that occurred on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However, we are holding the range support, and the recent dip resulted in higher lows and higher highs. Mildly bullish.
4h: Sitting at the point of control line (from volume profile). It wants to break above the BB MA for the second time this week. Mildly bullish.
1h: Broke above BB MA, with an upper target of $60.05k. Bullish.
Alts relative to BTC: For many ALTs ( COINBASE:SOLUSD , COINBASE:NEARUSD , BINANCE:ARUSD , COINBASE:RNDRUSD ), Thursday was a red day, creating a divergence with BTC. This is bearish for the overall crypto market. If we have three days of the market going down, and on the fourth, BTC is recovering, we want ALTs to recover with it, not continue the sell-off.
Bull case: We are holding our levels strongly, and more accumulation is happening at this level. The Cumulative Volume Data (CVD) indicator suggests that even with more aggressive sellers present, the price is still able to rise, meaning some market participants are buying up those sell orders.
Bear case: Same as yesterday—the bulls are weak, and the price continues to revisit the support level until it’s broken.
Fear and greed index: 46.45. No change.
Prediction: Short-term zigzag, long-term bearish.
Opportunities, at W, 4h divergences of major alts: With BTC not knowing where to go, any ALTs technical analysis will be useless. Just like our previous prediction of COINBASE:APTUSD correction due to the MACD divergence and head-and-shoulders pattern didn’t play out, and it still bounces off the weekly resistance level.
Aug 25Overview: The FRED:SP500 closed Monday with a red candle, erasing last week’s Friday gains. Durable goods orders were reported today, showing the highest increase since July 2020. This indicator reflects the amount of new orders placed with manufacturers for durable goods expected to last at least three years, such as automobiles, appliances, electronics, and machinery. An increase in durable goods orders typically signals business confidence and a willingness to invest in long-term assets. However, this rise was driven mainly by automobile purchases; excluding cars, the figure was down 0.2%.
Global liquidity has been increasing for the past 60 days. The last time we saw such a sustained rise was from the end of October 2023 to mid-January 2024, which marked the start of the current bull market. This is a bullish signal.
W: The BINANCE:BTCUSD price has reached the lower bound of the current range, 63k-64k.
D: Monday closed with a red candle. The lack of a lower wick is concerning, suggesting that bears pushed the price down throughout the day without giving bulls a chance to buy back. It closed slightly below the W level of 63k, at 62.8k.
4h: The price is at the bottom of the Bollinger Bands (BB). A rebound is needed, but it’s not happening yet. The price is trading below the W level. While this isn’t a significant issue for the W candle, it’s crucial for the 4h to stay above 63.1k.
1h: The RSI has touched the oversold level of 30. This is a bullish signal.
Alts Relative to BTC: There’s no significant divergence. Some altcoins corrected less ( BINANCE:SOLUSD , BINANCE:NEARUSD ) while others corrected more ( BINANCE:SUIUSD , BINANCE:FTMUSD ), but in the early hours of Tuesday, almost all have recovered to their highs after the recent pump.
Bull Case: This isn’t a bull trap, and we’ll see a climb on low trading volume. Whales might hold on, waiting for interest rate cuts, or they could start selling just before the cuts.
Bear Case: This is a bull trap unfolding, with fewer bulls willing to hold this price level.
Fear and Greed Index: 53.61. This is a 'no trade' zone if you prefer to buy low and sell high with the highest conviction.
Prediction: Undecided.
Opportunities:
BINANCE:AAVEUSD : At W level $128. Bullish.
BINANCE:MKRUSD and BINANCE:UNIUSD : Both are holding strong W levels that predate BTC ETF demand. Bullish.
BINANCE:TAOUSD : Drawing a MACD divergence on D and 1h, with the W level of $361 being rejected for the third time. Bearish.
26/08/24 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $64,969.66
Last weeks low: $57,798.14
Midpoint: $61,383.90
Another week has passed in the crypto world and another week of Bitcoin recovery. Now hovering around $64,000 zone after a battle around the range Midpoint which was also the 4H 200EMA, BTC has flipped bullish on all major MA's and is looking to target the '21 ATH which has historically been the area where BTC has struggled in the last few months.
With the US presidential election nearing and the FED rate cuts approaching even sooner, there are a lot of significant FA factors to consider. I think most people were under the impression that the ETF's and the halving would have more of an instant impact on price, we have seen a rally for the BTC ETF but that classic post halving boost has not yet panned out. It does have the feeling of all stars are aligning in the coming months to push through that ~$70k resistance and enter price discovery. Current sentiment is mostly pure boredom and that has lead to impulse moves in the past.
For now I think the important places to look are in the altcoin space, having been decimated in the last few months now is a good time to seek out strong fundamental projects that are looking to lead the way for the next year or so. The altcoin season index is currently @ 22/100 indicating that the market is heavily Bitcoin dominated, suggesting that altcoins need to play catch-up and will outperform BTC by doing so.

(Renko 1D chart)
Among altcoins, the number of coins showing upward movement as above is increasing.
In order for a block to be completed, it must rise by more than a block unit.
In the chart above, the rising block is completed only if it rises by more than 5.2.
Otherwise, if it falls below 4.8, the rising block disappears.
In this way, the Renko chart can be said to be a suitable chart for checking trends.

(SOLUSDT 1M chart)
(1W chart)
(1D chart)
If you look at the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts above, you can see that the 147.74, 168.41, and 179.89 points are important.
Therefore, if it fails to rise above 168.41, it is important to find support near 147.74.
-
Due to this rise, it seems that the M-Signal of the 1D chart > M-Signal of the 1W chart > M-Signal of the 1M chart has changed.
Therefore, this time, it is important to see whether it can be supported near 147.74 and rise above 179.89.
-
Accordingly, it is a buying period depending on whether it is supported near 147.74, 168.41, and 179.89.
The stop loss point is the HA-Low indicator.
The current HA-Low indicator points are
1M: Not yet created
1W: 13.81
1D: 148.28
as above.
Since the HA-High and HA-Low indicators are created according to price fluctuations, it is recommended to check the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts together.
-
Have a good time.
Thank you.

- Big picture
It is expected that the real uptrend will start after rising above 29K.
The section expected to be touched in the next bull market is 81K-95K.
#BTCUSD 12M
1st: 44234.54
2nd: 61383.23

5th: 178910.15
These are points where resistance is likely to occur in the future.
We need to check if these points can be broken upward.
Since I think it can create a new trend in the overshooting section, I need to check the movement when this section is touched.

TARS AI (TAI) cryptocurrency - Solana’s AI InfrastructureTARS AI (TAI) is gaining attention for its innovative approach to integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology.
TARS AI serves as an AI infrastructure layer for all applications built on the Solana blockchain.
It is designed to facilitate the training of AI models, monetization of data, and access to powerful Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This modular AI ecosystem is backed by the Solana Foundation, which enhances its credibility and potential for growth.
One of the key factors driving TARS AI's bullish outlook is its collaboration with Google. Developers have announced plans to launch four new AI products in partnership with the tech giant within the next 30 to 60 days. This collaboration comes after TARS AI was accepted into Google’s Startup Program, which supports promising startups, further solidifying TAI's position in the AI landscape.
TARS AI has established a $2 million ecosystem fund aimed at supporting developers within its network. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to bridge the gap between AI and Web3 technologies, positioning TARS as a leader in the AI blockchain sector.
TARS AI is not just another cryptocurrency; it aims to create a comprehensive AI ecosystem that allows users to train AI models quickly and cost-effectively. The platform is designed to support various applications, including data monetization and decentralized governance through AI-powered tools.
With its focus on scalability and integration with Solana's robust infrastructure, TARS AI is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for AI solutions in the blockchain space
In conclusion, TARS AI represents a compelling investment opportunity within the cryptocurrency market. Its innovative approach, strategic partnerships, and strong market performance make it a noteworthy contender in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and blockchain technology. As the Solana ecosystem continues to thrive, TARS AI is poised to play a pivotal role in the future of decentralized AI applications.
BTC - Daily Bullish MomentumBINANCE:BTCUSDT has seen a bullish momentum recently, largely supported by a dovish outlook from the Federal Reserve. The Fed is now expected to implement further rate cuts by the end of 2024, which has softened the U.S. Dollar and, in turn, boosted BTC and gold prices. In addition, geopolitical uncertainties, such as the attempted assassination of a political figure, have driven safe-haven assets like gold and Bitcoin to new highs.
Technically, COINBASE:BTCUSD is currently trading within a bullish expanding triangle pattern, a structure often associated with further upside potential. Given the current price action and the liquidity above $60K, there’s a strong case for BTC to revisit the resistance zone and potentially break to new highs. However, it’s essential to monitor the price action around key levels to confirm this bullish scenario.
The combination of favorable macroeconomic conditions and supportive technical indicators suggests that CME:BTC1! could see continued growth in the near term.
Bull Market in Alt Coins 2023 - SOLUSDTIn 2023, the altcoin market, particularly Solana (SOL), saw significant movements influenced by a variety of factors, including technological advancements, market sentiment, and broader economic conditions.
Key Points of the 2023 SOL/USDT Market:
Technological Developments: Solana continued to enhance its blockchain, emphasizing speed and scalability. These improvements attracted developers and projects, further solidifying its position as a leading smart contract platform.
Ecosystem Growth: The Solana ecosystem experienced substantial growth with more decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, and non-fungible token (NFT) platforms choosing to build on Solana due to its lower fees and faster transaction times compared to Ethereum.
Market Sentiment: Throughout 2023, market sentiment towards Solana was generally positive, driven by its strong ecosystem development, strategic partnerships, and the growing adoption of blockchain technology. However, like many altcoins, SOL's price was also influenced by broader market trends and Bitcoin's performance.
Price Performance: The SOL/USDT pair experienced significant volatility, typical of altcoins. However, during bull market phases, SOL saw impressive gains, reflecting investor confidence in the project's long-term potential.
Regulatory Factors: As with the broader crypto market, regulatory developments had an impact on SOL's price. In some regions, favorable regulations helped boost investor confidence, while in others, stricter rules led to temporary pullbacks in price.
My technical analysis script effectively detected key entry and exit points in the market by analyzing various indicators and patterns. It identified optimal entry points where momentum and trend signals aligned, suggesting potential profitable trades. Similarly, it detected exit points based on overbought or oversold conditions, divergence signals, and key resistance or support levels. These insights allowed for strategic decision-making, helping to maximize gains and minimize risks in the trading process.
Aug 23Overview:
Wow, what a 24 hours it has been. At one point, BINANCE:SUIUSD was up 21.6%. Yesterday, we mentioned that "some long positions can be taken with a properly tight SL" once a new trading range was established. On August 21st, we wrote, " BINANCE:ARUSD , BINANCE:APTUSD , BINANCE:TAOUSD showed better price action in the last couple of days. They will likely continue trading higher next week, as BTC stays within its range."
But let's break it down step by step. VANTAGE:SP500 posted a green candle, closing the week on a positive note. However, that candle was within the shadow of yesterday’s red candle, making it neutral rather than bullish.
Additionally, Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole wasn't particularly dovish. It was seen as a signal that the Federal Reserve is prepared to maintain a restrictive stance on monetary policy to ensure inflation is brought under control, even if that means keeping interest rates higher for longer than the markets might prefer.
BTC saw a massive $252 million in ETF flows from tradfi investors. And what did early Grayscale Trust adopters do? They sold $35.6 million worth of it. We’re left wondering how much of that $35.6 million was clients simply converting expensive GBTC into cheaper BTC fund, or if they sold for good. Unfortunately, even on-chain analytics won’t reveal that.
ETH ETF? No chance... Tradfi investors don’t seem to grasp smart contracts. They sold $5.7 million worth, even during a significant BTC rally.
Whales and other professional market actors are well aware that September is historically volatile and often brutal. Will they start selling and closing their positions in the last week of August, or will they wait until the first or second week of September, right before the expected interest rate cut? The big question is, do you want your portfolio to end up in a meat grinder?
W: Yesterday’s BINANCE:BTCUSD wick went higher than the BB MA, but after a pullback, it settled nicely right at the precisely drawn W level of $64k. If bulls can keep it above the $63k level, we can start talking about a new bullish sentiment, but as of now, we are still in a bear market. No divergence.
D: The $61.8 level was taken by bulls six times, and on the seventh attempt, they gathered enough strength. BTC rebounded after a crash, forming a nice bullish pennant. However, it has now reached the upper bound of the Bollinger Bands. Definitely not a time to go long—keep an eye on MACD or CVD divergences.
4h: RSI is above 70, but no MACD divergence yet.
1h: No divergences.
Alts Relative to BTC: If BTC grew by 6%, BINANCE:APTUSD is up 9%, COINBASE:RNDRUSD is up 10%, BINANCE:NEARUSD is up 12%, and BINANCE:SUIUSD is up 20%. Is SUI gearing up to be 3rd favorite smart contract platform after SOL? Will be looking closely. Some of these started to rally 2-3 days ago.
BINANCE:ETHUSD and BINANCE:SOLUSD performance was more underwhelming, posting only 5.4% and 7%, respectively. Are they so beaten up that fewer people want to touch them? Where’s the ETF crowd? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Bull Case: Bulls are able to hold the important W level in anticipation of rate cuts. Reaching that level has already happened; now it’s just a matter of staying there. If Panama, Brazil, and Paraguay announce Bitcoin as legal tender, following in the footsteps of El Salvador and the Central African Republic, this could fuel further bullish sentiment.
Bear Case: The trend continues without a reversal. The Fed doesn’t cut rates quickly enough, and corporate earnings reveal weakness in consumer spending. Whales and insiders start selling and shorting in late September, causing the market to drop in October—a month historically tough for crypto (cough, cough... FTX).
2013: After a strong first half, Bitcoin saw a correction in September before resuming its rally towards the end of the year.
2017: Bitcoin experienced a notable dip in September, partly due to regulatory concerns in China. However, this was followed by a rapid recovery and an all-time high in December.
2021: After strong growth earlier in the year, September saw a decline due to regulatory fears and macroeconomic factors, although the market rebounded in Q4.
Fear and Greed Index: 55.87. Remember—you only buy in 'Fear' territory, which is below 40.
Prediction: We might see some altcoins grow a bit more, but overall, BTC is likely to post a Doji candle next week.
Opportunities: On W and 4h charts, we continue to see many major altcoins in the RSI danger zone. Wait for Saturday’s price action and potential divergences to prepare for a Sunday sell-off.

Solana : WHICH WAY Could it go??Solana was one of my TOP PICKS for alts in 2024.
Second to Ethereum, the SOL space keeps growing as more and more dApss are being built on SOL. The market cap for Solana is looking healthy, after recently peaking at $93B:
This is an incredible achievement, and I expect the market cap to continue to grow in the longer time. Naturally, we can expect SOL to continue growing when the price of BTC starts another impulse wave up. My thoughts on that HERE👇:
Until then, don't lose hope just yet! December is usually a great time for the crypto markets.
_________________________________
CRYPTOCAP:SOL COINBASE:SOLUSD
Aug 20Overview:
For the first time in the last six trading days, the S&P 500 closed with a red candle (-0.20%), even though its wick extended higher than the previous trading day. The key macroeconomic event to watch this week is the release of the "Minutes of the Fed's July FOMC meeting" on Wednesday, which will provide insights into the discussions and debates among Federal Reserve officials, revealing their views on the current state of the economy.
Overall, this week might be relatively calm as the market anticipates potential rate cuts, election outcomes, and TradFi executives wrapping up their vacations. For example, much of Western Europe essentially shuts down in August, with many French citizens heading to the south of France, Germans traveling to Turkey, and Italians and Spaniards taking a more relaxed approach to work all year round.
By the way, it's been a while since we’ve seen any major hacks or rug pulls in the crypto space. Imagine running the 15th largest crypto exchange and starting to see diminishing returns as enthusiasm for the current bull run fades. You also notice more consolidation among the top 2-3 CEXs, while DEXs are gaining traction and cutting into your profits. This grim outlook might lead to some troubling thoughts cooking up. Although FTX filed for bankruptcy on November 12th, and BTC at that time dropped by 70%, we still have time to make informed decisions as we sit at the end of August. Remember: not your keys, not your crypto ...cough ...cough Lido...
Alts Relative to BTC:
Alts haven’t diverged much from BTC, but on the 4-hour chart, ETH shows a small MACD divergence between Sunday the 18th and Tuesday the 20th, with SOL showing it even more clearly. This suggests that while BTC remains within its daily range, alts are showing more weakness. Only AR and TAO have shown positive price action in the last two days. We know about the Grayscale news regarding the TAO trust, but what’s driving AR?
In the DeFi sector, AAVE continues to pump.
Bull Case:
We’ve reached the bottom and are now heading upward. Alts are already at their lows, and major institutional investors and governments haven’t even started accumulating the new digital gold. The world’s major economies are relatively healthy, and in 3-4 years, we might look back at 2024 as the bottom and the end of the "COVID economy." More money could flow into risky and alternative assets like crypto.
Bear Case:
Despite the macro outlook, crypto has likely reached its intermediate bull run, driven mainly by ETF demand without any major crypto breakthroughs or new use cases like DeFi. In reality, only a few market participants hadn’t yet entered the crypto space and needed an institutional vehicle like an ETF.
Fear and Greed Index:
45.39. The index has flattened over the last three days, mirroring BTC’s price, indicating neither strong buy nor sell opportunities.
Weekly: Range trading, slowly moving toward the BB MA, which it may reach within the next two weeks (conveniently the last two weeks of August).
Daily: BTC continues to trade within its daily range. It broke above the BB MA, but no significant pump followed. Bulls appear weak and may need more accumulation, a "whale push," or this might not be the time. Was it a fake-out?
4-Hour: Range trading, no divergences.
1-Hour: Range trading, no divergences.
Prediction:
Range trading with a possible spike up to $62k.
Opportunities:
SOL: Shows a bearish divergence on the 4-hour timeframe but could quickly reverse if BTC prints a green candle.
TON: Has completed the "Motive" part of Elliott’s wave pattern. In about 40 hours, it might finish the B wave, presenting a short opportunity that could last through the entire C wave down.

Aug 17Overview:
The cryptocurrency market is currently in a cautious phase. Weekends typically see minimal price swings, though Sunday evenings can bring volatility. Declining open interest suggests a lack of confidence, with traders closing positions and exiting the market. The August 5th liquidations also pushed remaining traders to leave, further reducing market participation. This environment points to continued consolidation, with potential for volatility as the weekend ends.
Looking back at BTC’s weekend price action, similar patterns emerge: a crash, a small rebound, approaching the Bollinger Bands moving average (BB MA), and then continued decline. Bearish scenarios include January 15-16, 2022; June 5-6, 2022; and more recently, June 29-30, 2024. A bullish argument is found in May 11-12, 2024, when Saturday and Sunday marked the end of the first bull wave and the start of the second in 2024. However, that was 33 days after the downturn began, while we are currently at day 20.
This past week may have been the calm before the storm.
Alts Relative to BTC: No divergences.
Bull Case: Everyone who wanted to sell has likely sold. Now we wait for an event to trigger a buying spree that could draw a 4th wave on the CRYPTOCAP:BTC chart.
Bear Case: No bulls come to the rescue, and the market drops further.
Fear and Greed Index: 44.9, rising over the last two days, but given the weekend, it may not carry much weight.
W: Range trading, no divergences.
D: Reached BB MA and is touching it at $59.9k.
4h: Approached $60.2k for the second time but couldn’t break that daily level. We’re also at the top of the Bollinger Bands range, which is relevant for those trading sideways movements. No divergence.
1h: No divergences, but there’s a bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern.
Prediction: Most likely move down significantly, or range trade, then decline.
Opportunities:
CRYPTOCAP:SOL : Attempting to break the weekly resistance level.
NYSE:SUI : Bounced from support and is now trending upward.
NYSE:AR and CRYPTOCAP_OLD:RNDR : Sitting on the weekly level; their next move will be quick, so choose your side.

Solana Not DeadI am still long Solana and various Solana related memes.
1. Crypto is absolutely insane. You have to be sized accordingly, just like everything else in trading/investing (ballz f*cking deep). I am watching the current intermediate downtrend for a break to the upside and another test of the upper high to high trendline. I think it breaks that in the coming weeks as Solana pushes to new highs. That is unless Solana meme trading degens keep getting farmed and rugged for all their worth.
2. People talk about Solana flipping Ethereum. I think it's possible, but I think Ethereum will move down more and Solana up as gas fees between the chains find an equilibrium. if the ETH holders fight it, they will lose much more than they think possible.
3. Overall, I am bullish on crypto going into another bubble/meme gambling super-cycle fueled by cross-platform bridging between chains. Multichain interoperability. We are seeing it clearly already and I think it will get crazier at some point.
4. As a reformed Crypto cynic/hater, I came to love crypto for how BTC was used to repatriate USD from the Russian Stock Exchange outside of the SWIFT system after Russian sanctions. I don't care if the CIA created Bitcoin and it is tracked completely. I am still bullish BTC for its legacy importance, high value, and transferability.
ETH/USDT 1D Trade idea It's no secret, Ethereum has been struggling this Bullrun.
Outperformed by Solana and other new emerging L1's, a permabearish ETH/BTC chart and losing market share in terms of volume on chain to its competitors.
The daily chart is a difficult one to digest as a fan of ETH, despite the ETF approval and the institutional investment that has come with it, the trend is an obvious downtrend of late and shows no signs of changing anytime soon...
The ETH/BTC pair is a similar story only the downtrend has been the case for much longer, unable to keep up with bitcoins price gains. Bitcoin is currently -20% from its ATH set earlier this year, Ethereum is yet to break its previous ATH set in '21 of $4850, -47% at current price which is way off BTC.
For me there are two possible entries:
- A mid range reclaim would then target a range high move going into the end of the year.
- A safer entry of filling the wick set in the beginning of august with a slow grind down, sweep liquidity, reclaim and pump from there.
Both situations would require BTC to behave as always.
